The comedian will be replacing the late Joan Rivers‘ slot on the panel while Brad, a stylist to the stars and a Bravo reality star himself, is replacing original co-host George Kotsiopoulos.

“Not only was Joan a trailblazer, she was also a dear friend and mentor to Kathy, who will no doubt continue her legacy and do the series justice by bringing her own unique comedic style and tell-it-like-it-is personality to the host chair,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development, E!

Benedict recently chatted with Fast Company about how he relies on his team to manage his busy schedule and worry about where he has to be.

“I have people who are on the verge of a nervous breakdown all the time, managing my day. I started to delegate about a year and a half ago. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I thought I was capable of running the whole circus, and I’m really not,” Benedict said. “I was about to go on this ridiculous weekend with this guy with a private jet and other friends, kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and then I got a call literally on the tarmac going, ‘Umm, so where are you? We’re about to do the photo shoot.’ I was like, ‘Oh, f–k!’”

Kathy Griffin probably will not be taking over Joan Rivers‘ job on Fashion Police after sources say she didn’t do great in the focus testing.

“They did some focus group testing on Kathy Griffin,” a source told The Wrap. “The problem viewers mentioned is she’d always be compared to Joan, but never actually as good as her. She was tested and tested poorly because she was too close to Joan‘s comedic sensibility.”

Other possible contenders now include Tyra Banks and NeNe Leakes, but nothing has been confirmed. “They should admit that no one can replace Joan and just have a revolving cast of guest co-hosts like Ross Mathews, Tyra, so on,” another source added.
